| Summary: | In the Malaysian context, the prehospital personnel are not only solely dedicated to the prehospital
service but at the same time they are also functioning as hospital-based staff in the emergency and
trauma department. Based on the previous study, the perceived level of knowledge and skills of
prehospital care personnel at SASMEC @ IIUM is still not properly executed overall. Thus, this study
aimed to assess the effectiveness of the prehospital care in-house training programme for the
emergency medical team in SASMEC@IIUM. A total of 28 prehospital care personnel participated in
this study. The prehospital care in-house training programme included both lectures and demonstration
sessions. Then the participants answered a self-administered questionnaire that originated from the
WHO's Essential Knowledge and Skills Questionnaire to test the effectiveness of the prehospital care
in-house training programme. It was found that the knowledge and skills of the studied participants
drastically increased after attending the programme. Besides, there were also positive associations
found between the participants’ sociodemographic data, their knowledge and their skills related to
prehospital care with a p-value of < 0.05. Therefore, this study's findings indicated a continuous and
sustained structured in-house training programme for the emergency medical team in SASMEC@IIUM
to provide quality care towards society. |
